    Some people on here seem to wrongly be of the opinion that the Public Sector is the same thing as the Trade Unions.


    Is it a common misconception or are people being mischevious.:confused:

    The Trade Unions are one entity and the Public Service-Public Servants are a different entity.

    Am I wrong in the need to make a thread to highlight the distinction.

    You may be referring to my post a few minutes ago. I did make the distinction, I just used the short hand "unions" for "public sector unions" about half the time I referenced them. I'm lazy! :)

    (I do think most people make the distinction (which is important), by the way.)

    No Eliot, it keeps coming up, not you in partic.

    I just find it confusing, do people know what they´re talking about if they don´t know-can´t be arsed to make the distinction. This is not a comment on your post, just on the issue overall.

    I feel it needs clarity.
